The PADI Refresher / ReActivate pathway

PADI ReActivate is a scuba refresher, not a new certification, for already-certified divers who have been inactive. It updates your skills and provides a ReActivated recognition; many divers follow it straight into guided fun dives.

Where you'll dive in Cyprus

The refresher session runs in sheltered, shallow Cyprus sites such as Green Bay, where calm Mediterranean water makes an easy place to rebuild skills before exploring sites like the Zenobia wreck.
